Council Tax benefit overview

Council Tax benefit

If you are on a low income or are receiving welfare benefits you may be entitled to Council Tax benefit to help pay your Council Tax bill. These pages explain how you can make a claim for this benefit, how your claim will be dealt with and how this benefit will be paid if your claim is successful. There is also information about what you need to do if your circumstances change as this may alter the amount of benefit you are entitled to receive.

For more details about how much your Council Tax bill is, and to find out if you are entitled to any discounts, for example if you live on your own or you are disabled, please see our Council Tax pages.

If you would like more advice please contact our Benefits Team using the contact details on the right.
